Definitions
- the present invention relates to a variable-delivery rotary vane pump, particularly for oil, and which may be used to advantage in automotive applications.
- the present invention relates to a rotary vane pump of the type comprising a casing; and a rotation unit, in turn comprising an inner rotor and an outer rotating ring, between which are interposed a number of vanes .
- this type of rotary pump is halfway between a gear pump and a vane pump.
- a gear pump substantially comprises two rotating elements, one rotated by the other by means of teeth, which action produces, on the fluid between two meshing teeth, suction on one side of the centreline of the meshing arc, and thrust on the other side.
- a vane pump provides for variable delivery, between zero and a maximum value, by varying the eccentricity of the two rotating elements.
- German Patent DE-C1-195 32 703 describes a particular vane design for transmitting motion from the inner rotor to the outer rotating ring of a rotary pump; and each vane comprises a substantially round-section first portion which fits inside a respective seat formed in the outer ring, and a second portion shaped to fit inside a respective cavity on the rotor .
- the inner rotor and outer rotating ring only have the same speed for a particular eccentricity value, and hence for a particular oil flow, which, as is known, varies in proportion to eccentricity.
- variable-delivery rotary vane pump as claimed in Claim 1.
- Figure 1 shows a diagram of the mechanics of a rotary pump in accordance with the present invention
- Figure 2 shows an overall diagram (in the direction of arrow. ,V---in - Figure 4 ⁇ ) * **Of- the - Figure 1 pump ifor a first' eccentricity value;
- Figure 3 shows an overall diagram (in the direction of arrow V in Figure 4) of the Figure 1 pump for a second, in particular zero, eccentricity value;
- Figure 4 shows section along line A-A of the overall diagrams in Figures 2 and 3 ;
- FIG. 5 shows the same section as in Figure 4.
- Figure 6 shows a section along line B-B of the Figure 5 pump
- Figure 7 shows a section along line C-C of the Figure 5 pump
- FIG 8 shows the same section as in Figures 4 and 5;
- Figure 9 shows a section along line D-D of the Figure 8 pump
- Figure 10 shows a section along line E-E of the Figure 8 pump,-
- Figures 11(A) and 11(B) show a first detail of the rotary pump according to the present invention
- Figures 12 (A) and 12 (B) show a second detail of the rotary pump according to the present invention
- Figures 13 (A) and 13 (B) show a third detail of the rotary pump according to the present invention
- Figures 14 (A) and 14 (B) show a fourth detail of the rotary pump according to the present invention
- Figures 15(A) and 15(B) show a fifth detail of the rotary pump according to the present invention.
- pump 10 comprises a casing 11 housing the components described below.
- casing 10 houses a gear 12 rotated, in the direction of arrow Rl and by a shaft (not shown) , about an axis X perpendicular to the drawing plane.
- Gear 12 has a number of teeth 13 which mesh simultaneously with the teeth 14 of a rotor 15 rotating about an axis Y parallel to axis X, and with the teeth 16 of an outer rotating ring 17 rotating about an axis Z which, for a zero eccentricity value, coincides with axis Y (see below, with reference to Figure 3) .
- Rotor 15 and outer rotating ring 17 form part of a rotating unit RU.
- gear 12 meshes simultaneously with a portion of rotor 15 and a portion of outer rotating ring 17 by virtue of teeth 14 and 16 being aligned along axes Y and Z, and by virtue of containing the overall " dimensions of outer rotating ring
- Rotor 15 and outer rotating ring 17 are rotated by gear 12 about respective axes Y and Z in the direction of arrow R2, opposite the direction of arrow Rl ( Figure 2) .
- the outer surface 15a of rotor 15 and the inner surface 17a of outer rotating ring 17 define, in conventional manner, a pumping gap 18 divided into five pumping pockets 19 by five vanes 20 also forming part of rotating unit RU.
- Each vane 20 comprises, in known manner, a first head 20a hinged inside a- respective seat 21 formed on outer rotating ring 17; and a second head 20b free to slide in a respective seat 22 formed on rotor 15.
- outer rotating ring 17 have the same angular speed at any instant within each turn. In general, therefore, there is never any time in which outer rotating ring 17 accelerates or decelerates with respect to rotor 15.
- the vanes provide for transmitting motion from the rotor to the outer ring, and must also support both the force required to pump the fluid and the inertial loads caused by acceleration and deceleration of the ring, whereas, in the present invention, the vanes have none of these functions, and can therefore be made, for example, of plastic material.
- vanes to transmit motion not only complicates design, but results in irregular operation of the pump as a whole, due to the indefinite nature of the mechanics involved.
- FIG. 15 One example of the vane 20 employed in the present invention is shown in Figure 15.
- Eccentricity E (Figure 2) may be varied as required using a plate 23, as shown in detail in Figure 14.
- Plate 23 comprises a substantially round first opening 24, inside which a portion 12a of gear 12 is inserted ( Figures 4, 12) and is free to rotate in the direction of arrow Rl .
- Plate 23 also has a substantially round second opening 25 for housing a portion 17a of outer rotating ring 17 ( Figures 4, 11) .
- the fit between the surface of portion 17a and second opening 25 is such as to allow outer rotating ring 17 to rotate freely in the direction of arrow R2.
- plate 23 also comprises a relief opening 26 for the oil which would otherwise also be pumped as teeth 13 of gear 12 mesh with teeth 14 and 16 of rotor 15 and outer rotating ring 17 respectively.
- pump 10 is fully immersed in the oil, and such pumping action - undesired in this case, but which, in an embodiment not shown, could constitute a successive oil pumping stage - would result in oil splash inside casing 11, thus resulting in loss of power.
- plate 23 ( Figure 14) comprises a projection 27 projecting with respect to the main body of the plate.
- projection 27 is acted on by a regulating device RD comprising, in known manner, an actuating member 28, which acts on a surface 27a of projection 27, while a surface 27b of projection 27, opposite surface 27a, is acted on by a spring 29.
- Actuating member 28 and spring 29 are both housed inside a portion 11a of casing 11.
- Actuating member 28 may be controlled by one of various known systems employed, in particular, in automotive applications.
- actuator 28 is advantageously controlled by an electronic central control unit (not shown) , which determines other operating parameters of the internal combustion engine (not shown) with which pump 10 is associated.
- oil from a tank flows through an inlet 30 ( Figure 4) into pockets 19 and then to an outlet 31, from which it is fed to at least one user device (not shown) .
- oil flow can be varied by applying force F, which can be regulated in known manner .
- force F which can be regulated in known manner .
- the mechanics of the system can be represented as shown in Figure 1.
- the mechanics of the system may be represented in the form of an epicyclic gear train, where the sun gear is defined by gear 12, the planet wheel by outer rotating ring 17, and the planet carrier simply by plate 23.
- planet carrier 23 To achieve eccentricity E, planet carrier 23 must rotate by an angle ⁇ to produce a relative rotation ⁇ between rotor 15 and outer rotating ring 17.
- vanes 20 may be made of materials of less than superior mechanical properties, e.g. plastic, etc.
- materials of less than superior mechanical properties e.g. plastic, etc.
- changes may be made to the rotary pump as described and illustrated herein without, however, departing from the scope of the present invention.
- the first member of pump 10 to be rotated is rotor 15 directly, as opposed to gear 12.
- gear 12 obviously serves to make the angular speeds of rotor 15 and outer rotating J ring 17 equal.
